Back of book description “Nicky Flynn’s life just got a whole lot harder. Not only have Nicky’s parents gone through a messy divorce- forcing him to start a new life, in a new city, in a new school- but now his mom has gone behind his back and brought home Reggie, an eight pound German shepherd from the animal shelter. Turns out Reggie is far from an ordinary pound mutt: He’s a former seeing-eye dog. Trouble is, nobody knows why he is now “retired.”
